Comments Thread For: Kovalev Confirms Jackson Split; Explains Need for New Trainer

Kovalev Needs

I am sorry; but, I disagree, Abel Sanchez and Freddie Roach are mostly offensive and pressure oriented and Kovalev don't need them. Kovalev need Virgil Hunter. Virgil Hunter is more defensive oriented and he can teach Kovalev how to protect his body and defence in general, he can teach Kovalev how to fight inside to push his opponents to long range, good clinching skills, how to avoid clinches in favor of the other opponent, put his body more durable, work in his cardio and stamina. I know this all sound good to be true, because Kovalev need his mental fortitude to learn all those things. Also those things take time to learn and you need to be focus all the time. My only concern about Kovalev is that Ward rob his soul and maybe he not going to be the fighter he was. Hope, I am wrong.

Kovalev should hire Kathy Diva as his new trainer.

Dude, why are you lying? Jackson gave you all the instructions needed but a) you either tell him to shut his mouth or b) you don't listen.

Kovalev has a history of being a troublesome student. Ask Roach. Ask Sanchez.

What is Kovalev's history with Freddie Roach? Never heard that story...

Yea he should definitely go with Virgil Hunter. Amir Khan, Andrej Fonfara, Peter Quillin, and Andre Berto have been on huge winning streaks since they made the switch.

Ann Wolfe? She would have the perfect attitude for Kov.

The light heavyweights are better with Kovalev relevant. To this very day I smile at his "Chickenson" taunt to Stevenson. The guy has talent and charisma. Needs a trainer to improve his defense and his championship rounds stanima.

Amir Khan, Andrej Fonfara, Peter Quillin, and Andre Berto don't have the same pedigree Kovalev have, let's alone Ward. If Kovalev have the focus to comeback under Virgil Hunter, I guarantee you that Kovalev is going to become a champion again, when Ward move from the 175 lbs division, like Ward came to become the unified super WBA, WBO and IBF champion in the light heavyweight division under Virgin Hunter.

You're delusional if you think Kovalev gonna go and become Ward's stablemate after what happened between them, or if you even think that would be a good thing for Kovalev's mental health as a man and a fighter.

So, you don't know, that one time, when Kovalev consider the offer of Virgil Hunter months ago? I am not delusional; I am stating a opinion. You never know If Kovalev surprise us with news about accepting Hunter offer.

Ann Wolfe teachings are rough and old school; but, effective.

Ann Wolfe methods are effective; but, I fear Kovalev is going to stay far away of her.
